The first time I saw that cartoon was last year with a friend of mine who writes and sells his own software. We had a very good laugh from it. Your not alone in your suffering.

Does it help to know the rest of the software devolopment world feels the same way?

So, why do you think you don't it well? (one day I spent about 6 hours working something out only to find my problem was a single semicolon) Most of us stink at it, but are in denial. Either that or get a Mac. The good news is, others, most likely, will never find out, unless your responsible for the blue screen of death. In which case, yes, please quit.
